Horse of the Year

Singspiel was named turf champion in 1996 even though he never won a race in this country. As long as the only criteria is that a horse must have started at least once in North America, if Sea the Stars were to come over and win, he'd get my vote. If you think Rachel is the best horse, then vote for her. But to me, it would be stupid if you believe that Sea the Stars is the best, that you would not vote for a horse that is qualified.

It is time for you to become born again it is the only thing that is going to save you. King you need salvation! What does the fact that Sea the Star would crush Rachel at 11f's on the grass at Leopardstown have to do with HOY? He isn't getting within 4 lengths of her at 7f's on dirt so who cares if he would beat her around 4 turns and thru the woods at Longchamps?

Can she beat him going 10 on dirt?
That's a question that Tiznow answered twice.

why? Have there not been plenty that have excelled on both? In this decade alone, would it be safe to say that Dubai Millenium, Sakhee and Giants Causeway excelled on the dirt?

Sea of Stars may very well hate the dirt, but why is there no reason to believe he could excel?
